Football match
The 1901–02 World Championship was an exhibition football match that took place at High Road Ground (the erstwhile name of White Hart Lane ) on 2 September 1901[1] [2] [3] Tynecastle Park on 2 January 1902[4] [5] [6] English Football Association Challenge Cup , Tottenham Hotspur , and the Scottish Cup , Heart of Midlothian .
The game was not the first "World Championship" game between English and Scottish sides; indeed, it was the second time Hearts had played this game.[7] [8]
The contest was won by Heart of Midlothian, 3–1 on aggregate.[9]
The fact that the first leg was played by all 11 of Tottenham's cup-winning team, and nine of Hearts', indicates that it was taken seriously by both clubs.[10]
